New York - After the English successfully captured the area from the Dutch in 1664, they decided to rename it 'New York' as a way to pay homage to the Duke of York and Albany, who would later become King James II of England. York itself is of Old English origin, and the meaning of York is possibly "boar settlement or yew settlement". Does this name fit the state?
